(RADIATOR) Where to set Acct-Interim-Interval

[Michael Harsh]

I added the Acct-Interim-Interval attribute as you suggested Hugh and now I
have been getting Accounting Alive packets from the CN3000 whereas I never
got any before. No such luck with the Proxim AP. Thanks again for your help
Hugh.

Hello Michael -

You can certainly use Radiator to set whatever radius reply attributes 
you like in an access accept.


	<AuthBy ...>
		.....
		AddToReply Acct-Interim-Interval = 60
	</AuthBy>


Whether or not the NAS understands what to do with it is another thing 
entirely.

The only way to be sure of what will happen is to first of all check 
with the vendor, but more importantly to then do lots of testing to 
verify correct operation. Please let us know what you discover.

regards

Hugh
